This is nonsense. I watched these two women literally ride into another women, who put her arms up to shield her body from the impact of the bike. When woman rode into her she yelled an expletive, most likely due to the pain of impact.

I wasn't there, but what Nonsense is saying makes sense. A white woman yelling ethnic slurs at Asian women (for no reason) is very uncommon. For the above reason, it happens. There's no reason to yell racial slurs, but people act differently when they're ticked off, and purposely trying to offend. This doesn't sound like a hate crime to me. People that overreact are annoying.

Yelling racial slurs is verbal abuse. It is not a hate crime. You don't have to be a lawyer or law enforcement to understand this. All it takes is common sense. People yell racial slurs because they know it's offensive, and they're trying to offend you. This isn't breaking news.
